E. Social Demands & Economic DevelopmentThe Cumberland Valley Area Development District Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, 2013, lists the construction of additional access along the Hal Rogers Parkway as one of Clay County’s Regional Priority Projects to promote connectivity in the region.

II. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED

$650,000

Amount

Urban Creek Road (CR 1286), was recently connected to the Hal Rogers Parkway. It is one of few routes between Manchester and London providing a north-south connection from the Hal Rogers Parkway to the communities of Grey Fork, Rader, Fogertown. The connection to the Hal Rogers Parkway makes the functional classification of Urban Creek Road eligible to be changed from a rural local road to an rural collector.

$800,000 in Design funds have been authorized. Funding for Right-of-Way, Utility, and Construction is available but has not yet been authorized

$800,000This Project was added by the General Assembly into the 2014 Highway Plan with the funding levels shown to the right.

$450,000$6,100,000

Urban Creek Road (CR 1286) is currently not being used by trucks because of access issues including:• the connection to the Hal Rogers Parkway has very poor geometry and is difficult to negotiate for any vehicle other than passenger vehicles• the bridge at MP 0.102 is posted with a 16 ton limit• the KY 687 intersection has poor geometry and sight distance, and is difficult to negotiate for any vehicle other than passenger vehicles

I. Roadway Deficiencies

II. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED (cont.)

There are numerous roadway deficiencies:1. The intersection of Urban Creek Road and the Hal Rogers Parkway has very poor geometry and is difficult to negotiate for any vehicle other than passenger vehicles 2. The bridge over Little Goose Creek has a sufficiency rating of 28.2 and is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete.3. The intersection of Urban Creek Road with KY 687 has very poor geometry and sight distance which results in very low sight distance both on Urban Creek Road and KY 687, for traffic entering and exiting from Urban Creek Road. 4. Urban Creek Road is predominantly a one lane road with many geometric deficiencies

Urban Creek Road (CR 1286), is currently functioning as a very low-volume rural collector with an ADT of 253 vehicles per day (traffic count: Sept. 2014). There are no capacity issues.

Due to little economic development in the area and few private residences, this route currently has a low demand for transportation. As access and connectivity to the Hal Rogers Parkway are a regional priority, transportation demand may increase in the future.

A review of the Kentucky State Police Collision Database since 2010 shows no crashes along Urban Creek Road (CR 1286).

Since 2010, there were 3 collisions in close proximity to the intersection of Urban Creek Road and the Hal Rogers Parkway. Two of the collisions were with animals, and the third was a rear-end crash.

There were no crashes in close vicinity of the intersection of Urban Creek Road with KY 687.

The USGS Quadrangle is Manchester. This section of Little Goose Creek is not listed as a special use water. A water of the United States, Little Goose Creek, with impacts below ordinary high water will require coordination with the officers of the CORP and DOW. Construction activities may need a USACE 404 permit and a DOW 401 permit. Additionally, a surface water KYR 10 permit may be required for construction disturbance.

III. PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

Bridge replacement, geometric improvements, roadway widening

Clay County is in attainment for all monitored air pollutants. Air quality during construction will be controlled with good construction practices.

A Phase I archeological survey will determine cultural significance and if eligible sites are located in the project footprint. No historical resources have been identified.

The USGS Quadrangle is Manchester. Current species listed for Clay County are Indianan bat, Northern long eared bat, gray bat, rabbitsfoot, snuffbox, and the Kentucky arrow darter. Future study will address the requirements of USFWS and prevent detriment to the protected species.

Fueling stations, or where petroleum products have been used, can be identified for hazardous materials during phase I investigations and determine if phase II will be necessary. Other possible hazardous materials to investigate will be asbestos in structures. There does not appear to be relocations or hazardous soil contamination

A. Scoping & Need:

B. Draft Project Purpose:

Urban Creek Road (CR 1286), is currently functionally classified as a rural local road providing access to local homes and farmland in the Urban Creek area. It is predominantly a one lane road with a structurally deficient and functionally obsolete one lane bridge.

Recently, access to the Hal Rogers Parkway was provided to Urban Creek Road which provided through access to KY 687 and increased traffic. This access to Hal Rogers Parkway makes the functional classification of Urban Creek Road eligible to change from a rural local road to a rural collector. The connection to the Hal Rogers Parkway has very poor geometry and is difficult to negotiate for any vehicle other than passenger vehicles.

The intersection of Urban Creek Road with KY 687 has very poor geometry and sight distance which results in very low sight distance both on Urban Creek Road and KY 687, for traffic entering and exiting from Urban Creek Road.

The priorities for this project are:1. Improve safety and connectivity at the intersection of Urban Creek Road and the Hal Rogers Parkway2. Address the structural and functional deficiencies of the bridge over Urban Creek3. Improve safety at the intersection of Urban Creek Road and KY 6874. Improve safety along the entire length of Urban Creek Road

Improvements to Urban Creek Road and the two intersections will provide better access to the residents along KY 687 as well as the Gray Fork, Rader, and Fogertown Communities.

The purpose of this project is to improve safety and connectivity on Urban Creek Road (CR 1286), from KY 687 to the Hal Rogers Parkway.
